Exploring the different continuities  and discontinuities in mobilising patterns and dissident agency in India, the  authors present a heterogeneous insurrectional pattern that pivoted around  issues of caste, class, religion, land reform, labour, taxation and territorial control,  with anti-colonialism movements becoming prominent in the first half of the  twentieth century. The authors move beyond this to explore more recent  templates of mobilisation which surfaced towards the end of the twentieth  century, during India’s liberalisation period. With growing marketisation and  technological advancement, unprecedented changes in social relations, growing  economic opportunities and cultural transfusion taking place, the country  became a ‘New India’ - one which aspired to be a global player in the wider  technological public sphere. Tracing the historical trajectories of social movements  in India, this book examines recent trends in digitised dissidence and explores  new frontiers of protests, providing fresh insights for those researching the  history of social movements, South Asian and Indian history and postcolonial  studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2023-08-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030940423\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-94040-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210.0cm x148.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 203.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449279377548,"sku":"9783030940423","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030940423.jpg?v=1766472457","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030940423","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
